Robert G. Shaw lead the fist regiment that was made up of African Americas. He lead the attack on fort Wagner.
Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the book Uncle Toms cabin which showed the harsh and terrible life of a slave to people in the north, because of this book people could understand how bad slavery was.
Frederick Douglass travelled around the country informing people about the south, and the life of a slave.He helped people understand what was going on in the south and how bad it was.
Harriet Tubman went to the south and help bring slaves back to the north or to Canada where they would be free. The reward for here capture was very high because she brought so many slaves to freedom.
Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin. This machine separated cotton seeds from the cotton. This meant that plantions could plant more cotton so it made the slaves jobs because now they have to plant and harvest a lot more cotton. It caused the civil war because slave life was terrible.
Economy: In the north there were big cities and lots of railroad tracks, and in the south there was a lot less railroad track and not very many big cities. This caused the civil war because both sides wanted the majority in congress.
Industrialization: It was when the north was getting machines in factories. It helped cause the civil war because the north didn't need slaves so they thought it was wrong.
The north had way more bigger cities than the south. The farms in the north were small so they didn't need slaves to do work because they could do it themselves. Compared to in the south where plantations contained thousands of acres. The north had a lot more miles of railroad track compared to the south this made it easy for the union army to transport supplies, soliders, and heavy artillery to the battle field. The north's free population was a lot higher than the souths free population. The south had a lot more slaves than the north.

Missouri Compromise: The Missouri compromise is a line that made it so if a state was on the north side of the line it was a free state, but if it was on the south side it was supposed to by a slaves state. The reason the line was made is because the south wanted slavery to go west and the north didn't so this is why the Missouri compromise was made.
Kanas-Nebraska Act: This act let the states choose if they were going to be slave state or a free state. This was called popular soverity. This was going against the Missouri compromise because a state in the north could be a slave state and a state in the south could be a free state.
The Missouri compromise line went through California so they decided to make it a free state to make it fair to the south they made the fugitive slave act. This act made it so planation owners from the south could go to the north and take their slaves back to the south. Some slave owners brought back free african Americans because they had no rights. Slave owners would give rewards for their slaves being brought back to the south. Police officers liked this and sometimes got bonuses or rewards for bring in slaves.
underground railroad:The underground railroad was made by abolonist who are people against slavery. The underground railroad would help slaves get from the south to Canada because they would be free in Canada. Harriet Tubman would go to the south to take slaves to freedom.
The North or Union army won the war.The confederate army surrender because they needed supplies badly because they were starving and the union army was between them and the supplies. They were also outnumbered. They needed more men to reach the supplies and didn't have enough supplies to hold off the Union army. Thats why the rebels surrender.
Geography: In the south the weather was warm and had very good soil. This made it good for growing cotton. Because they grew so much cotton they needed slaves to harvest and plant it. In the north they grew other crops that didn't require as much labor so they didn't need slaves. The north also got more things imported from Europe because they had big cities along the coast and were closers to Europe than the south was.
